DMann2003 Posted February 4, 2005 Report Posted February 4, 2005 I saw this mentioned in USA Today and I found this linkGodfather Video Game Announced Seeing as how "The Godfather" is my favorite film, the idea of playing a game where you get to rise up the ranks of the Corleone family sounds pretty frickin sweet.
El Psycho Diablo Posted February 4, 2005 Report Posted February 4, 2005 Something tells me it's going to be heavily "influenced" by games like Mafia and GTA. With EA at the helm, I wouldn't expect much..
Guest DVD Spree Posted February 4, 2005 Report Posted February 4, 2005 I love the way that Brando was somehow coerced into signing his likeness away to EA and coming in to record voices for them before he died. "Shit, I'm on my last legs, there's gotta be some shit left in the world that I need to do… oh fuck yeah, I gotta go and be in a fucking Electronic Arts game!" Bizarre.
AndrewTS Posted February 4, 2005 Report Posted February 4, 2005 Something tells me it's going to be heavily "influenced" by games like Mafia and GTA. With EA at the helm, I wouldn't expect much.. I expect good sales and a crappy game.
The Man in Blak Posted February 4, 2005 Report Posted February 4, 2005 We could be proven wrong, but I foresee a sales/quality divide on the scale of Enter the Matrix on the horizon for this one. Of course, I've been trained to automatically be skeptical of movie-licensed games, since there's maybe five or six in the last fifteen years that have even approached mediocrity.
Guest DVD Spree Posted February 4, 2005 Report Posted February 4, 2005 Something tells me it's going to be heavily "influenced" by games like Mafia and GTA. It IS a free-roaming, GTA-style game.
dubq Posted February 4, 2005 Report Posted February 4, 2005 I love the way that Brando was somehow coerced into signing his likeness away to EA and coming in to record voices for them before he died. "Shit, I'm on my last legs, there's gotta be some shit left in the world that I need to do… oh fuck yeah, I gotta go and be in a fucking Electronic Arts game!" Bizarre. Especially since he was always so opposed with playing the same character twice in a film. Sure, this isn't a film, but technically...
Open the Muggy Gate Posted February 4, 2005 Report Posted February 4, 2005 I hope this comes off as a good GTA-style roam around. Mafia and the Getaway have left me dissapointed so far. I may be the only one, but I wanna see a Tombstone GTA-style game.
El Psycho Diablo Posted February 4, 2005 Report Posted February 4, 2005 Mafia was great, but whoever did the console versions should be shot. The PC version is much, much better..
MrRant Posted February 4, 2005 Report Posted February 4, 2005 Looks pretty. But I'm figuring it will suck. But I hope not.
Scroby Posted February 5, 2005 Report Posted February 5, 2005 Alot of games looked pretty but then again alot of those games tanked.
EricMM Posted February 5, 2005 Report Posted February 5, 2005 Those don't seem to be in game shots, rather cutscenes. SO helpful EA...
Modern Man's Hustle Posted February 5, 2005 Report Posted February 5, 2005 Those don't seem to be in game shots, rather cutscenes. SO helpful EA... I read somewhere that those were actual in-game shots. There's gonna be a pissload of load times on this thing.
EricMM Posted February 6, 2005 Report Posted February 6, 2005 No, I'm sure those are cutscenes. They may use in game graphics, but they're not representative of gameplay at all. Thus, they are unhelpful. Unless you're a graphics whore.
Eclipse Posted February 7, 2005 Report Posted February 7, 2005 Good sales....crappy game? Sounds alot like The Matrix's game.
BrokenTiger Posted February 17, 2005 Report Posted February 17, 2005 Bah, I love the Godfather trilogy to death...but personally I don't see this game fare better than Mafia (loved that game). On the other hand...will there be a cutscene of Sonny's dramatic death?
Sonic Reducer Posted February 18, 2005 Report Posted February 18, 2005 It's going to suffer from True Crime syndrome: The game looks pretty but the gameplay is going to be horrible.
Guest NCJ Posted February 18, 2005 Report Posted February 18, 2005 Those are supposedly actual gamepley shots for the most part running on Xbox 2/PS3 dev kits.
Downhome Posted March 23, 2005 Report Posted March 23, 2005 Check this out, from the latest GameInformer. Please note that only the three smaller pictures on the bottom of the first scan is screenshots from THIS generation. The others are a look at what it may look like on the next-gen consoles, but they still give you an idea about what this game will be like. Click on the thumbnails to see the full image:
NoCalMike Posted March 23, 2005 Report Posted March 23, 2005 Game LOOKS fantastic.....but that means little in the bigger picture.
